True and False Daughters Joined Forces [Metaphysics]

The father-in-law sighed: "How does the child know what the adults are thinking about? Shan Er Ren, who is the steward, is a very kind girl. Seeing that the boy has to do so much work every day but can't get enough to eat, he saves it from his own rations. out a little."

The boy knew very well that the food that Shan'er gave him was not meant for him, but he didn't say anything. As long as Shan'er gave him food, he didn't ask a word, just took it and ate it.

At the beginning of the meal delivery, Shan'er kept in mind the teachings of her parents and did not talk to the boy.

Every time, she just opened the door with the key of the mill, brought the food in, and took it away when the boy finished eating, posing an irrelevant attitude.

Later, maybe it was because no one at home was really bored, or maybe because she didn't realize the boy's ill will towards her, Shan'er gradually evolved from standing outside the mill door to waiting inside, and then took the initiative to talk to the boy.

"What's your name?"

"Are you also from Zhuangzi?"

"How old are you?"

"Why are you locked up here?"

The boy ignored her, and Shan'er didn't give up. She didn't seem to ask for answers, but just needed someone to talk to. Every day, she rambled about her bits and pieces when delivering meals.

"My name is Shan'er, because my parents want me to grow up to be a kind girl."

"Today, I learned how to steam steamed buns with Aunt Lai from the kitchen, and kneading the dough made my hands hurt. You must eat two more."

"It rained last night, are you cold? Can I give you a dress?"

"Today my mother taught me how to read accounts. She said that I was going to be a lady in charge in the future, and I had to learn it early. Those accounts made me dizzy. I have to continue tomorrow. I am too miserable."

During the autumn harvest season, Shan'er often gets wild fruits, which the servants who went up the mountain accidentally picked from the mountain and sent them to thank the steward for his usual care. Shan Er would steal two of them and hide them in his sleeves, and eat together with the boy in the mill.

Shan'er always said: "It's boring to eat alone. Every time I see you eating, I feel very hungry. When I go back, even if I see dishes that I don't like on weekdays, I can eat a few more bites. You can only eat one meal a day, eat more Well, the steamed buns can be hidden and eaten when you are hungry."

When it's cold, Shan'er will send clothes and quilts to the boy, even if it's worn out or something the girl has used, it's a good thing the boy has never seen before.

The mill was cold, but he had a winter that wasn't so cold.

When winter came to spring, the boy said to Shan'er, who came to collect cotton clothes and quilts, "Iron egg."

Shan'er froze for a moment before realizing that the boy was saying his name, "Egg's egg?"

The boy nodded.

At that time, every household raised chickens, but they seldom ate them by themselves. They all raised old hens to lay eggs, which they saved to sell, or exchanged for food with others.

Shan’er begged her parents for eggs, and the stewards promised her to eat them once every three days. She hid the egg and brought it to Tie Dan, watching Tie Dan sit on the wooden bench and devour eggs.

Shan'er asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious!" Tie Dan rarely smiles, but when he eats eggs, he will smile lightly.

Shan'er gently wiped the yolk from the iron egg with a handkerchief, "Don't worry, I will keep the egg for you, and there will be more in the future."

No one has ever been so nice to Tie Dan, even his mother would let him give food to his youngest brother, let alone something as extravagant as an egg.

He knew that every family in Zhuangzi did this. The parents gave food to the children, and the older brothers and sisters left the food to the youngest, because the younger the child, the harder it was for him to survive.

But he actually didn't understand why every family had so many children.

If every household had only one child like the housekeeper, and needed less food and clothing, there wouldn’t be so many children who couldn’t survive, right?

Tie Dan didn't understand, and he couldn't understand anymore.

What he had done was exposed, the entire Zhuangzi wanted to kill him, but Shaner was the only one who treated him well. He cherishes Shan'er's kindness to him, and he is afraid that Shan'er will know what he has done and be afraid that he will stay away from him.

Tie Dan: "Why are you so nice to me?"

Shan'er was stunned by this question.

"I want to be nice to you, just be nice to you. Is there a reason for this?"

Tie Dan: "..." He thinks Shan'er is too kind, it's not good.

People who are too kind are easy to suffer, and he feels that something will happen to Shan'er.

After thinking about it, I felt that Shan'er was the daughter of Zhuangzi's steward. The steward was very good to the servants. As long as the master didn't come, no one would bully Shan'er.

That year, Shan'er was seven years old and Tiedan was six years old.

The two children were like this, talking and laughing in the small mill, and spent five years of peaceful and happy time.

In five years, Tie Dan is no longer a boring guy who couldn't type a few words with a stick. He talks a lot and has a more formal name. Shan'er helped him pick it up: Tie Mingxu.

Shan Er hopes that he can be as bright as the rising sun in the sky, and not stay in this small mill forever.

To this end, Shan'er would come to teach him to read and write every day and in his spare time.

At that time, pen and ink and books were very expensive, and the cost of reading was too high. Shan Er was unable to go to the school, but just followed his parents to recognize some characters and read the Three Character Classic and Thousand Characters.

Tie Dan is very smart and cherishes the knowledge he can learn. Although Shan'er can tell him a limited amount, that's because Shan'er is a woman and can't go to school and learn more.

No matter how much the steward couple doted on their only daughter, they were not rich enough to invite a female master to teach her daughter at home.

What's more, Shan'er is already twelve years old and has begun to see each other.

She will marry soon and become the daughter-in-law of someone else's family, and she will not come back several times a year.

With this money, the steward couple would naturally be more willing to spend it on their young son.

Yes, when Shan Er was ten years old, the steward couple gave birth to a son.

Since then, Shan'er's status in the family has been getting lower and lower day by day. Otherwise, how could a normal family let a daughter who is about to meet someone deliver meals to a teenager of similar age?

The empathetic Shan'er doesn't think it's wrong for her parents to prioritize sons over daughters. She never complains that her younger brother is no longer valued by her parents, and she will take the initiative to help take care of her younger brother.

Shan'er liked that new born brother very much, and often said in front of Tie Dan how much milk he drank today, how long he was awake, smiled at her, and pulled her hair.

Before the age of ten, Shan Er was the only girl in the family. BaN

The lady in charge has had a miscarriage several times in her pregnancy. Whenever this happens, the atmosphere at home is indescribably weird, and couples who have always been in a good relationship will quarrel and argue about it.

Shan'er didn't know that she had the feeling of a younger brother and sister. She cherished this hard-won brother very much. She remembered the little change in his brother for a long time, and told Tie Dan like a treasure.

Tie Dan is a very qualified listener. He always listens to Shan'er quietly and never interrupts her, satisfying her desire to talk and show off.

He wants to tell Shan'er that this is just the beginning. Your parents will pay more attention to your younger brother and ignore you. He feels that it is better not to let Shan'er know this cruel fact. the same?

Facts have proved that fathers and mothers who prefer sons over daughters are the same, and they don't become special just because they are good.

Shan Er, who used to always come to deliver meals with a sincere smile, gradually became a little reluctant.

Tie Dan saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, he couldn't do anything when he was locked in the mill.

Then, one day, Shan'er's smile suddenly became bright, and she said, "My parents are showing me how to meet others."

From this day on, it was Iron Dan's turn to be sad and depressed.

After five years of getting along day and night, he had already fallen in love with Shan'er, a kind girl, but he knew that with his status and conditions as a prisoner, he had no way to ask the steward to marry Shan'er.

No matter how kind-hearted the steward is, he would never be willing to let a man who kills a family of four at a young age, and when he grows up, marry his daughter.

Tie Dan became silent day by day, but Shan Er, who used to be able to quickly sense his emotions and appease him, didn't notice it this time.

He knew that if he didn't do anything, Shan'er couldn't belong to him. What should he do if he is locked in such a place and can't even get out?

Shan Er always came with a smile on his face and told him the process of seeing each other.

She said that she was looking at a person from a very good family. She was married to be a lady in charge. Her parents were very satisfied. They had already talked about it. She was going to embroider a wedding dress for herself. Often come over to talk to Tie Dan.

Tie Dan thought about it for several days, and Shan'er finally found his silence and asked with concern, "Ming Xu, what's the matter with you?"

"I want to go out." This was the first time in the five years of knowing each other that Tiedan said he wanted to leave here.

Shan'er was stunned for a long time, then cried and said, "Are you going to abandon me too?"

Iron Egg: ?

Where does the word abandonment come from? He has never owned Shan'er, so naturally he can't be called abandonment or not.

Realizing what she had said, Shan'er hurriedly wiped away her tears, "I have inquired, the people in Zhuangzi are not going to let you out, if you want to go, I can let you go, but you have to go far, don't can come back again."

Tie Dan disagreed: "No, I can't implicate you!"

Shan'er cried and laughed, "I'm the daughter of Zhuangzi's steward, I just let someone go, what a big deal? I'm going to get married in two years, my parents won't punish me too much, at most Lock me up and let me embroider something to sharpen my heart. It takes a long time to embroider a wedding dress, so it will save you trouble if you embroider it earlier."

"No." Tie Dan still disagreed, he didn't want to implicate the girl he liked, no matter how light the punishment was.

"Okay, what are you and me arguing about?" Shan'er patted Tie Dan's shoulder like a big sister, and said with relief, "In a blink of an eye, you are so old, the little mill can't hold you anymore, it's time for you Went outside to roam."

Tie Dan wants to say: Don't treat me as a younger brother, I don't treat you as a sister, I want to leave here because I want to get better conditions, so that you can marry me beautifully.

But he didn't know what he could do after leaving here, and he didn't know how long it would take to do it. He couldn't make any promises, and he couldn't make a young girl wait for him forever.

Tie Dan put his commitment and goal deep in his heart and did not say it.

The two planned an escape plan for several days, Shaner saved a lot of dry food, and took some out of his own private money and gave it to Tie Dan.

Where would Tie Dan be willing to accept his sweetheart's private money?

But Shan'er insisted on handing it over to him, and said, "Just think it's me who borrowed it from you. When you make a name for yourself outside, you can return it to me again when you come back, so that you can add makeup to me?"

Tie Dan held a small amount of entanglement, took the dry food prepared by Shan'er, and left Zhuangzi late at night.

He was locked up in the mill for five years, growing from a boy with a tender face to a boy with a slender body, because every three days there is an egg or half an egg that is half and half of He Shaner, and he will steal the ground soy milk, The body is very sturdy.

The eleven-year-old boy looked like he was thirteen or fourteen years old. No one knew him except the servants who brought beans and soy milk to the mill.

Even the steward couple, who are said to be very kind, only asked a few questions from across the door, and had never seen him.

Tie Dan left smoothly, but hit a wall outside.

At that time, a very strict household registration policy was implemented. Foreign nationality, escaped nationality, and Vietnamese nationality were not allowed. Guides were needed to go to other places.

Shan'er knew that she needed a road guide, but she couldn't get it without disturbing anyone, so she could only rely on Tie Dan to find a way.

Without a guide, it was impossible to move an inch. Tie Dan became a rat crossing the street, hiding everywhere, and his behavior attracted the attention of others.

The officers and soldiers are one, and the bad guys are the second.

Gu cultivators liked his young body and strong physique, and took him as an experiment to try the newly cultivated Gu. Because the person in front of him was bitten by the Gu and died, and he could not see the concrete effect, he wanted to find one. The body is better looking at people who can last longer.

Tie Dan was caught out of bad luck, but his luck was good, not only did he not die, but he successfully made Gu recognize his master.

This annoys the Guren.

Gu, which took several years of hard work to cultivate, was actually snatched away by an experimental product. Is it worth it?

Tie Dan hurriedly knelt down to apprentice, and described his experimental status as the master testing the apprentice's qualifications.

Gu Ren thinks that's fine, and takes him by his side as his apprentice.

He originally wanted to find a chance to get Gu out again, but unexpectedly found that Tie Dan's body is very suitable for raising Gu, and his memory is good. A qualified apprentice.

After a long time, the cultivator really started to cherish talents, and he trained Tie Dan as his apprentice, and said to Tie Dan: "If you are only my apprentice, I can only teach you these things, but if you are mine Son-in-law, I will teach you everything I have without reservation."

His daughter Yan'er was addicted to the formation technique, not interested in Gu, and did not intend to inherit many of her father's skills.

Guren didn't want his decades of hard work to be wasted, so he came up with such a solution.

Tie Dan only has Shan'er in his heart. He doesn't want to marry Gu Ren's daughter, and he doesn't dare to refuse, so he finds Yan'er.

But Yan'er only has the formation in her heart, and is not interested in the love between men and women.

In those days, unmarried women would be criticized, and she was forced to propose a way of cooperation due to the status quo.

Yan'er wanted a nominal husband to block Youyou's public, and Tie Dan wanted to get the ultimate secret of raising a gu person to cultivate a gu king. After thinking about it, the two decided to cooperate and soon became a relative.

Tie Dan thought that if he became the son-in-law of the Gu Ren, he would get the Gu King, but who knew that the Gu Ren still had a trick, saying that he would leave the Gu Wang to his future grandson.

Tie Dan and Yan'er don't have any feelings for each other, and Yan'er doesn't want to have a baby and waste her time studying the formation method. How could she have a grandson?

After a few years of stalemate, Tie Dan counted the time and felt that Shan'er had already married someone, and then married Yan'er. He should be responsible for his wife, so he gave up some ideas.

A few years later, their first child was born.

Because Yan'er still did not give up the formation after she became pregnant, she was affected by the formation while researching the broken formation and gave birth to a child in advance. The child's health was not good, so the gu person gave the gu king that he cultivated to the child. .

Strange to say, with Gu, the child's health is getting better and better.

He has both a wife and children, and Tie Dan's life can be considered complete, but he still thinks of Shan'er in his heart, so he returned to Zhuangzi by himself on the grounds of returning to his hometown to visit his mother.

Once there, he learns a shocking thing.

It turned out that Shan'er told him that the so-called mutual relationship was false. Shan'er was attracted by the master's playful son and was taken to be a concubine, not even a concubine.

The steward couple happily sent their daughter to be a passer-by, in exchange for fifty taels of silver.

Tiedan, who couldn't figure it out, asked Zhuang Min, "Don't they love their only daughter very much? Why would they send her daughter to be a passerby?"

The man laughed loudly: "If you have a son, what daughter do you want? I love my daughter because I don't have a son and I'm the only child."

Iron Egg: ? ? ?

He is no longer the boy who could only be imprisoned fifteen years ago, nor the boy who could only escape from Zhuangzi with the help of his sweetheart ten years ago. The art of man's control.

Tie Dan had tricked the steward couple and their only son. Under his coercion, he learned a lot.

It turned out that the steward couple used to be servants in the master's house. They once had a pair of lovely twins who were tortured to death by the master.

After the accident, the owner's family sent the two of them here in order to appease them and seal their mouths.

"It's retribution." The steward cried and said, "I know he likes twins, and I've helped him find many candidates, but I didn't expect him to let go of my children. Since then, my wife has lost the other one. , it's all retribution!"

Tie Dan's body was cold, like falling into an ice cellar. He suddenly had a very terrifying guess and asked with a white face, "So you told him the news about the pair of dragons and phoenixes back then?"

The manager nodded, and Iron Dan realized that he was just a scapegoat that was pulled out for everyone to see from beginning to end, and the real criminal was here.

No wonder the steward couple wanted to protect him, it was not their kindness, but his fault.

No wonder he had never seen the ghost of the family of four come to trouble him. It wasn't that he was tough, but that the one who really killed them was not him.

At that time, when he was only six years old, why did he think of going to inform?

Because he overheard the conversation of the steward couple.

At that time, the lady in charge said: "It's about time to escape the summer heat. The longer the twins are, the better they look. What if the master finds out?"

The manager said: "They live on Zhuangzi, and sooner or later they will be seen. If I tell him first, maybe I will get some rewards."

The six-year-old Tie Dan just wanted to be full, so he used the news of the twins that he would know sooner or later to get himself a full meal, and then he was locked up for five years.

So, Shan Er... Does she know?
